We are big fans of piezoelectricity here at Inhabitat — it essentially transforms kinetic energy into electrical current, and it can be implemented in a wide number of systems ranging from ...

Technology is advancing at lightning speed, setting us up to look like we live in a sci-fi film. While the first flying cars are actually achieving lift off already, nations around the world are ...

Recent efforts in piezoelectric research have focused on converting mass friction from roads and highways into an alternative energy source. In December 2015, the Texas Department of Transportation ...

BOSTON, Dec. 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- California and Europe are pumping millions into development of electricity-generating roads using piezoelectrics. Piezos will also be useful in self-powered ...

Imagine harnessing the power of millions of cars as they simply drive on the freeway using a sensor smaller than a quarter.“When cars drive along roads, they vibrate the roads; and it sounds like ...

When Innowattech introduced its so-called “piezoelectric road”–a 10-meter piece of asphalt embedded with piezoelectric generators–late last year, critics complained that extracting kinetic energy from ...
